Agreed. I think they lost Tim Thomas to the Clippers, that might have contributed to their slow-paced game. :sweat:

K. Thomas and a slower Stoudamire doesn't help their running game...i think they are lacking in speed this year... :shakehead: :beaten:

Time to jump on the Clippers bandwagon, ne? :beaten: :hehe:

Oh boy, you are in deep trouble there. I have Boris Diaw in the NJ Nets league and that guy is hurting me in rebounds and blocks, though there is the assists as a consolation, but that is not the stat I am looking forward to for a Power Forward. :shakehead: Good thing I have David West to back him up.

yes, but that's probably my best team this year, having Okur, Frye, Boozer, Shawn Marion, Caron Butler, Mike Miller, David West, Boris Diaw, Ray Allen, Gilbert Arena, Brevin Knight, Morris Peterson, and Raja Bell.

don't ask me how to draft a team like this, it's an autodraft league.

well....I was into the Clips even before Phx....which is my 2nd fave team, Clips are tops...
Lakers are ok...too
I am not into the eastern teams at all...all west for me. :metaldevil: :bonk:

but some players are good to watch, like L. James, Wade.

That's a pretty competitive lineup there, you should be able to reach the playoffs with that roster. But you may lack in blocks with that roster, if Andris Biedrins is still available in the free agents pool then I suggest that you pick him up and waive Frye or Diaw. ;)

I see. Well the Nets are in the east so I should say that I am into eastern teams, but I follow the league as a whole due to fantasy basketball :bonk:

thanks your advice. Biedrins is still a FA in my league, I will pick him up later. btw, it's a roto league so we don't have playoffs.

Cool! I'm sure the guy will not let you down. He has a total of 13 blocks to go along with 32 rebounds in 3 games, this are good numbers for an unknown guy.

I see. I have tried participating in a roto league last year, and I finished 5th out of 12 teams. :sweat: I'll just stick with Head-to-Head leagues. :mrgreen:

After the first week, I think the H2H is far better than roto when playing fantasy basketball cuz H2H is more exciting and fewer dead teams. (there's so many quitter & sore losers in roto leagues) :usuck:

That's exactly why I prefer H2H than roto leagues. H2H is more competitive and provides rivalries which makes the games more exciting. :metaldevil:

If only you have seen my invitation a little earlier to join in my Nihon league....... :sweat:
